Coming this Christmas from Blue Sky Studios is Ferdinand, directed by Carlos Saldanha and a cast including John Cena, Kate McKinnon and Bobby Cannavale. 20th Century Fox dropped the first trailer today (it will be tagged with Dreamworks’ The Boss Baby this weekend). Ferdinand opens in the U.S. on December 15th. Here’s our first look:

Synopsis: FERDINAND tells the story of a giant bull with a big heart. After being mistaken for a dangerous beast, he is captured and torn from his home. Determined to return to his family, he rallies a misfit team on the ultimate adventure. Set in Spain, Ferdinand proves you can’t judge a bull by its cover.

Cast: John Cena, Kate McKinnon, Gina Rodriguez, Daveed Diggs, Gabriel Iglesias, Bobby Cannavale, David Tennant, Anthony Anderson, Flula Borg, Sally Phillips, Boris Kodjoe, Jerrod Carmichael, Raúl Esparza, Karla Martínez, Miguel Ángel Silvestre
